screebl is an excellent program, i find that to save battery life..

"Screebl allows users to save battery life by changing power settings based on their devices screen orientation."

+1 for getting rid of Friendstream. Useless app. I saw improvement in my battery after removing that. Plus like others have said, 4G, wifi, bluetooth GPS all off unless i need it. Screen brightness to about half, no live wallpaper. News and weather updates every 3 hours. Seems to work well for me. i can get thru most of the day with those settings.

ive read gps doesnt really need to be turned off because it only works when you need it to.. its not like a constant on, for instance if your using locale then you might want to turn that program off because thats whats keeping your gps active

Does this work with the EVO? I see it has Nexus One support which since it has the same processor, I would assumre it would work for the EVO as well. Just want to get an idea before I purchase...

I havent tried it but I'm almost positive it is free at XDA.... the dev posted it there.

Wow, this app is a must have. I have only used it for a few hours so I cannot speak to any battery improvement experiences. But, it is VERY useful and works perfectly! It is so annoying to have the screen dim while in the middle of something, not anymore!

Where exactly is "Friends Stream" ? I can't find it to turn it off.. unless I disabled it already and it does not show. I don't remember doing that though.

Thanks

if youve never signed into it then i dont think you have to worry about it... it's the htc widget everyone's talking about. you can find the app of it in your app tray.
